    I've read all the no bake cookie recipes on this site and most of them are identical to the one I've had for almost 40 yrs. The only difference is the time you should boil the butter, sugar, cocoa and milk. I bring the cocoa mixture to a soft rolling boiling on medium high heat - Read more ...

    Excellent, but I was eating these non stop and felt I needed a lower in calories version. I have not added up the calories in this version, but I use a lot less butter, sugar, and peanut butter - so I assume it is lighter :-) Less Sweet, Fewer Calories, BUT nearly as good version - Read more ...

    WOW!!! I made no bake cookies that turned out right!! This has rarely happened in the past, LOL. Actually, I made a batch from a recipe I had, and they wouldn't set, as usual. I was determined to make some that would set. I came to my favorite recipe site and found this one... perfection!! - Read more ...

    WAY too sweet even after I added an extra 1/2 c. of oatmeal and reduced the sugar to 1 1/2 cups! I recommend using 1/2 the amount of sugar (1 c.) and upping the oatmeal by a 1/2 a cup. They were however very easy to make--a perfect dessert to make in the summer when - Read more ...

    Just like I remembered them! Easier than I remembered also. Thanks!!! A hint: before you spoon onto wax paper, let mixture cool for just a moment so it's easier to control size of cookie.

    WOW! What a blast from the past!! I've always loved these cookies and now my children do also. Wish I would have had this recipe years ago. I microwaved my ingredients for 3 1/2 min. stirred then microwaved for another 3 1/2 min. then added pb oatmeal and vanilla. Texture of the cookies were perfect. - Read more ...

    This must be one of the easiest cookies to make, and it has been a family favorite in both my husband and my families for years and years. A lot of people complain that the cookies don't always set up well, but I found if you follow the advice in this recipe about bringing it - Read more ...

    I made a double batch with my toddler - ended up with about 95 cookies. I ended up with cocoa and oats on my floor but it was worth it! The cookies are perfect and we both had fun making them.
